Harvard University is almost certain to house a department dedicated to Tamil, thanks to an initiative taken by two India-born doctors. The Ivy League university which has a 100-year-old Sanskrit chair has now shown interest in constituting a Sangam Tamil chair. Harvard University, located at Cambridge in Massachusetts, has demanded a fund of $6 million to form the chair. Physicians in the US, Dr Janakiraman and Dr Thirugnanasambandam, who have together donated $1 million; and the International Board Member, writer A Muttulingam talk to Kulasegaram Sanchayan about the current status of this initiative.
